FRONTLINE GLOBAL SURGERY CONFERENCE

We will be running a VIRTUAL HACKATHON which you can register and take part in using Microsoft teams in small groups to innovate around the unmet need:

"How can we improve LMIC hospital readiness for the outbreak?"

What is a hackathon?

​

The idea of a hackathon is that people from a diverse range of disciplines come together to tackle a common problem. In healthcare this can involve doctors, allied health professionals, scientists, engineers, business people, product designers and patients.

​

Hackathons provide a space to facilitate collaborative working and innovative thinking, there are no particular rules or limits, in fact, we want you to think freely!

​

In this virtual hackathon, attendees were placed in a team with people from different backgrounds from around the world and had around 45 mins to discuss their ideas to tackle the unmet need.

​

All teams then nominated a spokesperson to present their ideas to the conference!

​

THE HACKATHON AT FGS 2020 WAS A MASSIVE SUCCESS AND WE WANT TO THANK ALL THOSE THAT TOOK PART!
